"Shanghai Taste is an undisputed local legend when it comes to Chinese food—it’s a tiny, no-reservations spot in Chinatown that’s a portal into soup dumpling heaven. You can feast on excellent xiao long bao and sheng jian bao, filled with steaming, savory broth. To keep yourself busy while the dumplings cool down, get a plate of the fried fat noodles to eat as your first round. You might be asked to order before you sit down, so be prepared with your picks ahead of time. If there’s a bit of a wait for a table, keep yourself entertained by watching the staff fold dumplings behind a glass window." - emmy kasten, andrew ryce
"This Chinese restaurant offers elevated takes on Shanghai street food, serving more than 3,000 xiao long bao soup dumplings every day. Order the dumplings with traditional filling, or with vegetables or crab. Also on the menu is beef noodle soup, egg fried rice, and scallion pancakes." - Janna Karel
"Chinatown’s ShangHai taste threw open its doors in December 2019, just a few months before the pandemic restrictions shut down dining. In its cozy dining room, a pristine open kitchen turns out fresh xiao long bao (pork-and-crab soup dumpling) and more. For the best view of the action, book one of the six seats in the kitchen." - Janna Karel
